Purpose:

  • To review and update neuropsychological literature on executive function.
  • To cover EF development, structure, theoretical models, and clinical alterations.
  • To discuss qualitative and quantitative assessment methods for EF.

Summary:

  • Executive function is a multidimensional cognitive construct.
  • It develops throughout childhood and is altered in neurological/neuropsychological disorders.
  • EF can be evaluated using qualitative and quantitative approaches.

Impact:
